print(body["data"], "credits left:", body["credits_remaining"])

Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "instagram",
  "endpoint": "/v1/instagram/audio-reels",
  "data": {
    "cursor": null,

The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Schema basis: reviewed response shaper. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.

The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.

Audio cluster/asset IDs and music metadata are optional source fields already supplied with a reel. Trending is time-sensitive; a missing signal is unknown. Returned page size does not establish the sound’s total reel count.

include_audio=true selects the richer native collection at the same price. The first-page sound and total can be retained in an authenticated continuation when later pages omit them; scope and observation timestamps make this explicit. A sample length never establishes the sound total.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
